7 Shortcuts to Save You Time in the Morning

We won’t sugarcoat it: Mornings are hard. Between making coffee, applying makeup and remembering to pack a lunch, there’s a lot going on (and quite honestly, we usually only get around to one of those things). But what if we told you that a slight rejiggering of your routine could transform those first few hours? Read on for seven simple shortcuts.

You know you shouldn’t hit the snooze button. But when you’re way exhausted, nothing can get you out of bed… except maybe some good music. Create a morning playlist (keep it pleasant and upbeat) and use it as a timer. Shower for two songs, get dressed during one song and so on.

The last thing you have time for in the morning is an egg-white Western omelet. Instead, get a solid protein boost from this delicious (and gluten-free) chocolate, banana and coconut smoothie. Just throw in some Silk Coconutmilk, chocolate protein power, a banana and a scoop of almond butter, then blend. We bet you could even do it in less than five minutes.
